I loved the idea of this book, and there were brilliant moments throughout, but, on the whole, it didn't work for me. There was just too much going on, from the book within the book to the lengthy one-sentence passage supposedly from the mind of a 10-year-old. This kind of formal experimentation can be emotionally distancing, and that was the case here for me. The form overwhelmed the often compelling story.

BkClubCare I haven‘t made any progress on this. 5y
BkClubCare Are you following #tobsummercamp2019 ? (Probably not the right hashtag) 5y
teresareads @BkClubCare No. I was planning to, so I put most of the books on my library list. But I haven't ended up paying much attention to it. Maybe I'll catch up over the holiday weekend. 5y
